She is perhaps one of the best professors you can get when just beginning organic chemistry! I am very excited to continue to take her class in the summer for 30B! I hope to get her labs as well :)

Definitely recommend taking Dr. Reilly. She is the best professor I have met so far.

Walking into the Chem 30 Series, I was nervous/scared as I heard that organic chemistry is by far the hardest chemistry you can ever encounter. However, Dr. Reilly proved that this is wrong.

She is so knowledgeable in Organic Chemistry and you can feel the love and passion for the subject from her at every lecture and office hour.

She is also very helpful and actually wants you to succeed unlike some of the other professors. She will hold additional office hours, study sessions, review sessions, and work on the homework with you after you attempted it yourself.

The notes she gives out are super helpful. I definitely recommend also going to office hours as she is great at eliminating any sort of confusion you have on the subject.

Overall the breakdown of the course is:
BACON UCLA (X6): 12%
Problem Set (X5): 25%
Midterm: 25%
Final Exam: 38%

Her exams are fair and if you learn the material and understand it, do the discussion worksheets, problem sets, and additional practice problems she gives out, you should be well prepared for any examination.

In times of COVID-19 Pandemic and BLM movement, she was very understanding adjusting the coursework accordingly.

YOU WILL NOT REGRET TAKING ORGANIC CHEM WITH DR. REILLY!
